twenty-five, brigadier. general, and
was one of the youngest men
holding that rank in the Confederate
amy. He is now president OF the Vir-
oinia Midland railroad, first vice-pre
sident Of the Richmond aud Danville,
vice-president of the Richmond and
West Point Terminal, and director in
all the roads which it controls. He is
one of the new financial powers, III

lew years to guide the financial and in
dustrisl deainies of the South. His

years of age, and was born in Charles

distinguished citizen OF Virginia.
OTHER RAILROAD FE;ANCIERs.
General Logan, with Alfred Sully,
General Thomas, John H. Inman, and
Calvin S. Brice, have all come to the
front as natural financial leaders in the
gleat industrial development of the
south. Alfred Sully was born in Otta-
wa, Canada, and General Thomas and
{. S. Brice in Ohio but the South is
we'll represented in the new powers at
woik by General Logan. born in South
Carolina, and John II. Inman, who
came originally from Tennessee. John
{. Calhoun, Jr, is also prominent in
southern railroad affairs, ond is of
ten seen in New York. He
IS grandson of the famous
statesman, an uncompromising ex-
ponent of States rights, the nettle dan
ger from which has sprung the flower
safety for the unity of the republic.
Mir. Calhoun is identified with the
Georgia Central railroad and the Rich
mond and Danville system. The great
statesman, once a Titan in southern
POLITICS, has few descendants, his Off
spring being peculiarly subject to apo
plcxy and consumption. 1t is interest
jug TO observe that namesake iii his
grandson, eschewing politics, is win
ming new distinction for the name OF
Calhoun in the domain OF finance.
HERR MOST AND THE ANARCHISTS.
The return of Johann Most, the dis
iineuisbed dynamitard, from Black
wells island was received with even
rore enthusiasm than was expected.
From the landing OF the steamtug
which conveys cranks and criminals to
lhe city from the penal institution, his
march was q succession of beers, huz-
zas, Lisses, embraces, handshaHngs,
and more beers. Most must have n
cast-iron constitution when in forty
eight hours he con successfully and
successfully drain two kegs OF beer, kiss
800 women aud 100 men, embrace 400
more, make 100 three-minute speeches,
cat twelve meals, and cover quirc OF
foolscap with German hieroglyphics.
Unpleasant as the fact may be, An
archisln and Socialism are growing, and
growing rapidly. Five years ago there
we're but three recognized headquarters
for them in New Work /; to-day there
are at least twenty alone upon the East
Side. As they have cast 5000 votes IN
the metropolis and nearly 5000 in
Brooklyn, and as they consist chiefly OF
recently arrived foreigners, ii is fair to
presume that they number at least 3D.
zoo in the two cities.
MANY FACTIONS.
A singular feature is the anarchy OF
the Anarchists. Instead OF being one
compact, harmonious body, they are
broken up into no one knows how
luany factions Justus Schwab leads
one. He and his arc quietly and or
Derry, and may be termed consera-
iiyts. Johann Most and Edward Braun
schweig lead second, which breathes
fire, explosion, and slaughter, and may
lie regarded as mildly radical. Ed
tors Scheyitz, of the Leadcr, and
Theodore Cuno, of the Fctks-
Ncitipg. represent a third branch,
which is literary, laxative, and mild
manpered. Another branch meets IN a
